Dependable. Devoted. DeGroot.
Our Story
Our story starts on a fifth-generation farm. Frustrated by brokers who just didn’t understand perishables, we built DeGroot Logistics to solve that problem, and to serve shippers like us with care, transparency, and urgency.
Farmers Turned Freight Leaders
Founded to meet the needs of our own farm, we’ve gained first hand insight that have refined our processes.
Facing these challenges of running a 5,000 acre vegetable farm in central Illinois, DeGroot Logistics leverages over 50 years of experience from the DeGroot family’s vegetable commodity business. This high-touch experience has prepared us for anything.
We’ve lived the pressures of shipping produce, and know what is important to our shipping partners.
